Thursday, 22 January

1 Welcome & Scientific Strategy (Chairperson-Rik Yoshida)

• 10kton underground by 2021 as driver • Start process for choosing experimental collaboration leadership • Facilitate people joining hardware projects LAR1-ND, LARIAT or CERN platform • Technology decision schedule which aligns with CD2 – 2018+1 • FNAL Management Goal CD3A for FY17 – a coherent plan to HEP by May 2015

Speaker: Nigel Lockyer (Fermilab)

2 Goals and Process for the Collaboration Meeting (Chairperson-Rik Yoshida)

• Forming of this new Collaboration-a merger of all previous efforts and any other interested parties • Scope of 40 ktons physics program • Agreement on minimal level of organization to start • Agree on minimal number of Working Groups to make progress before spokespeople chosen • Launch spokesperson selection process • Provide a way for individuals/groups to get involved in R&D efforts, CDR Writing and other collaboration activities.

Speaker: Sergio Bertolucci (CERN)

3 IIEB Model of the Facility/Experiment Interplay (Chairperson-Rik Yoshida)

• New Collaboration will follow the CERN LHC model o Working groups on facility side responsibility of host lab o Working groups on experiment side responsibility of spokespersons • Collaboration and Facility roles and responsibilities o Collaboration: Science, Near Detector, Far Detector, Scientific specifications of the neutrino beam o Facility is responsible for civil construction, cryo plant, beamline, target station, horn, etc. (will need to carefully be defined) o Role of experiment facility interface group

Speakers: Prof. Kenneth Long (Imperial College London), Dr Robert Roser (Fermilab)

4 Defining the early Physics Program of 10 ktons (Chairperson-Agnieszka Zalewska)

o Physics program of the 10kton first module(s) underground by 2021 o Need to cover  Oscillation physics (Silvia Pascoli)  Supernovae (Kate Scholberg)  Proton Decay (Vitaly Kudryavtsev) o What are the outstanding Questions in each area o What are the goals and priorities and issues associated with each

Speakers: Kate Scholberg (Duke University), Prof. Silvia Pascoli (University of Durham)
